Plant-Based Chorizo (Soy or Pea Protein)

Plant-Based Chorizo (Soy or Pea Protein) is a spicy, sausage-like plant product inspired by traditional chorizo and commonly made from soy or pea protein; it’s used as a direct vegan substitute in tacos, scrambles, breakfasts and other dishes where you’d use crumbled sausage. Nutritionally, Plant-Based Chorizo (Soy or Pea Protein) is a concentrated source of protein, providing about 20g of protein per 100 g, and also supplies fiber and added omega-3s and vitamin B12 in many formulations. Compared with animal chorizo it offers a better saturated-fat and overall fat profile and a strong protein quality for a plant product, though some commercial varieties are relatively high in salt — so look for lower-sodium options if that’s a concern.
